This is an impressively large stone, again with a rough, jagged and pointed top. It is about 1.4m tall and 1.2m square in plan at its widest.

Its hard to concentrate on this stone though when there's a very impressive stone row just 200m away.

I only really came to this stone to take a GPS reading and to look across the fields at the stone row. I think this stone was placed here to mark the best place to view the row from. Perhaps ceremonies happened here with the stones in the row looking down.
